I will post anything I can if it comes up but his wife said he didn't want anything in the way of a service so this may be the only place to leave any thought or condolences...

Just a note here on Elton. He actually just loved Findmall. It was almost embarrassing how much he liked the site and the people here. He was actually honored to be the administrator and was never on any kind of power trip. If someone challenged him on something he'd quickly ask me how I wanted to handle it which I usually explained to him that he was in charge and to do what he thought was best which was usually much nicer then I would have done. A real pleasure to delegate authority too. He'll be truly missed around here.

Rest in peace, Elton....

I met Elton back in 2011 and had been on a few hunts with him over the years. That was not his real name by the way, but I will keep that private. He was an older gentleman and as nice a guy in person as he was on the forum. Ex-law enforcement officer, which is probably why he always seemed to handle forum issues in such a tactful, professional manner. Absolutely loved detecting. If ever there was a guy that represented our hobby in the positive way that it should be, it was Elton!

I am very saddened to hear the news about Eldon.
I have had the privilege of talking to Eldon on a number of occasions, I always enjoyed talking with him and found him to be very helpful and always a solid class act.
Please accept our Condolences to the Elton family.
R.I.P Eldon

He will be missed.. If possible, please send condolences to his family for me

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most; That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in"
